Krzysztof Brejza frames disruptive provocateurs as tools in a broader political tactic, accusing them of sabotaging a memorial ceremony on Piłsudski Square where PiS officials honored the victims of the Smolensk disaster. A European Parliament member from the Civic Coalition filed a report to the parliamentary ethics committee, calling for accountability for the PiS president. Brejza contends that Jarosław Kaczyński used coarse language in the exchange.
Report on the president of PiS
In a conversation with Brejza, he described how Jarosław Kaczyński allegedly answered an activist in a disdainful tone.
It is recalled that a group of provocateurs confronted Jarosław Kaczyński as he laid flowers at the Monument to the Victims of the Smolensk Disaster. Initially, they mocked his height and the length of his jacket sleeves, to which the politician did not react. Then there were shouted questions like, “Where is the wreckage?!” and a barrage of insults aimed at the leader of the largest opposition party, including language that many would deem inappropriate in a public figure. After calls of “Where’s the wreckage?!”, Kaczyński moved his hand toward a banner held by a provocateur, who responded with shouts of “Hey, hey! Destroy! Kaczyński took down the banner.”

Brejza asserted that Kaczyński used a vulgar word, arguing that such language is unacceptable for any politician, irrespective of the circumstances. He added that politicians should be role models.
Brejza argued that the president has long cultivated a public image of PiS as a party of the educated, a narrative the leader sometimes characterizes as a “people of a better kind.” He suggested that beneath that image lies a more coarse, boisterous rhetoric.
– Brejza said.
He warned that letting public debate become littered with vulgarism would invite others to mirror that behavior among politicians and ordinary citizens alike.
He also noted that public perception is shifting, with many people beginning to see what he calls Kaczyński’s true face.
When the visibility of taxpayer-funded security details fades, the bodyguards retreat, and the public see the leader more plainly, Brejza claimed.
– Brejza remarked.
On April 10, 2010, a Tu-154M crash near Smolensk claimed 96 lives, including President Lech Kaczyński, his wife Maria, senior military officers, and the Polish ambassador to Poland in exile, Ryszard Kaczorowski. The delegation was en route to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre.
Brejza was asked if he remembers the warmth shown by citizens during pre election events with Donald Tusk and allied party members.
